    So, Funny story! I discovered this Creamy Spinach and Sausage Pasta dish one of those nights before the grocery trip when you scavenge the freezer and the pantry for something to cook.

    A close up of spinach, sausage and pasta meal.

    I discovered I had some “weird stuff left” from my previous grocery and decided to google if I could make something up from the ingredients and that’s how I stumbled on this delicious recipe.

    It is a super easy and delicious recipe. It is one of the one-pot recipes I always go for when I feel a bit lazy in the kitchen.

    Since I love cooking food at once, I decided to add more of each ingredient to the recipe so that I could make enough for multiple meal prep lunches for me and the family.

    Why is this recipe a winner?

    A close up of creamy spinach, sausage and pasta meal.

    Nutritionally balanced

    It contains everything I would love in one meal. It has pasta, vegetables, meat, and cheese.

    I always use fresh spinach, because I love having fresh greens in my recipes.

    Takes a short time to prepare

    Within a short time, you will have dinner ready. This dish takes a very short time to assemble and is great when you need to make a quick weekday dinner.

    It is simple to make, and even children can prepare it with minimal supervision!

    It is rich in flavor

    The meaty taste of smoked sausage is amazing to any palette, the savory flavor of the cheese blends perfectly with the fresh and green spinach.

    The cheese makes the texture very creamy making it suitable for toddlers to eat as well.

    INGREDIENTS AND SUBSTITUTIONS

    A bunch of spinach, sausage and pasta ingredients in glass bowls.

    Pasta

    Any kind of pasta is suitable for this recipe, however, to make this recipe to make this meal Paleo Compliant you can substitute the Pasta for noodles such as

    • Zucchini Noodles.
    • Kelp Noodles
    • Shirataki Noodles
    • Eggplant Lasagna Noodles
    • Root Vegetable Pastas.

    Smoked sausage

    Smoked sausage is full of protein and amazing meaty flavor. The smoking gives it a more distinct flavor as compared to other sausages. However, you can use your favorite type of sausage.

    Chicken Broth

    I could say this is the game changer in the recipe, there is a notable difference when you cook pasta in chicken broth and when you cook it in plain water. The chicken flavor that's is ever delicious is absorbed into the pasta making the dish irresistible even to the most fussiest eater.

    Spinach

    Spinach is my favorite green leafy vegetable. It is highly nutritious, cooks fast, and is very tasty. Its intense veggie flavor blends well with the sausage and pasta. This is one way I get my little ones to eat veggies without a fuss. 

    Monterey Jack Cheese

    Monterey Jack cheese melts easily and compliments with other ingredients in the dish. It is mild in taste but has a distinct lactic flavor, as it melts it makes the dish creamy and moist. Gouda is a good substitute for Monterey jack cheese.
